What is the best torrent software?

I'm an ex-Azureus now uTorrent user. I find uTorrent very simple and effective. Also, after a little bit of customizing it is now very simple - which I love. Give it a tree - it's free!

I use BitComet 0.84. It's about as simple as it gets. Download, install, download. I've tried other clients, but they won't work due to my ISP having fucked up the firmware of their routers, to disable port forwarding. It's fucking gay.

The idea of any hi-fi system is to reproduce the source material as faithfully as possible, and to deliberately add distortion to everything you hear (due to amplifier deficiencies) because it sounds 'nice' is simply not high fidelity. If that is what you want to hear then there is no problem with that, but by adding so much additional material (by way of harmonics and intermodulation) you have a tailored sound system, not a hi-fi. - Rod Elliot, ESP

I had a bit of port issues on the last built of uTorrent but the new one has cleared it up for me - perhaps it is worth a try?

Nah, I don't really have a need for a new client. BitComet works great for me, and I'm really used to it. Besides, I get maximum "speed" out of it anyhow.

Same, I used to use Azureus. I still like Azureus, but utorrent downloads faster.

Azureus is better on multiple cores, while µtorrent wins on a single core. (if I remember right).

I use µtorrent too, but only since a month, before that it was somehow blocked by the uni.

µTorrent has encryption built in, it's great because as a lot of people know Comcast is one of the ISPs that tries to block torrent traffic purposely and with this I can actually get some stuff done.
